Satan has made vast gains in the United States. The corruption, lies, and criminal acts of our country’s leaders as they seek more and more power are indications of just how powerful he is in this world. No wonder the Bible refers to him as the “Prince of this world”.
Like a rotten tooth we are in need of a root canal. If that won’t work I suppose the removal of the tooth is our next option. What do you suppose might precipitate the removal of the tooth? Some believe it is the moral decay and degradation of society; others think it is a corrupt government in collusion with a Godless media. I believe it is the increasing anti-Semitic sentiment towards Israel.
Some in this land arrogantly could care less about God’s Holy Word, especially when it comes to His love for Israel. Before taking a side that opposes Israel we would do well to take a look at history, which, as we all know, repeats itself.
Bibi Netanyahu pointed this out in a speech to the U.N. denouncing the deal with the United States led coalition to give Iran billions in cash and allow further development of their nuclear arsenal and war machine.
“For in every generation, there were those who rose up to destroy our people.
In antiquity, we faced destruction from the ancient empires of Babylon and Rome.
In the Middle Ages, we faced inquisition and expulsion.
And in modern times, we faced pogroms and the Holocaust.
Yet the Jewish people persevered.
And now another regime has arisen, swearing to destroy Israel.
That regime would be wise to consider this: I stand here today representing Israel, a country 67 years young, but the nation-state of a people nearly 4,000 years old.
Yet the empires of Babylon and Rome are not represented in this hall of nations.
Neither is the Thousand Year Reich.
Those seemingly invincible empires are long gone.
But Israel lives.
The people of Israel live.”
The most powerful nations in the world in their day no longer exist, but Israel lives. How can this be? They made the mistake of attacking the nation of Israel.
Israel is so tiny one can barely find it on a map and yet they lead the world in all sorts of categories. Netanyahu listed some of them:
“Many seek to benefit from Israel’s ingenuity in agriculture, in health, in water, in cyber and in the fusion of big data, connectivity and artificial intelligence – that fusion that is changing our world in every way.
You might consider this: Israel leads the world in recycling wastewater. We recycle about 90% of our wastewater. Now, how remarkable is that? Well, given that the next country on the list only recycles about 20% of its wastewater, Israel is a global water power. So if you have a thirsty world, and we do, there’s no better ally than Israel.
How about cybersecurity? That’s an issue that affects everyone. Israel accounts for one-tenth of one percent of the world’s population, yet last year we attracted some 20% of the global private investment in cybersecurity. I want you to digest that number. In cyber, Israel is punching a whopping 200 times above its weight. So Israel is also a global cyber power. If hackers are targeting your banks, your planes, your power grids and just about everything else, Israel can offer indispensable help.
Israel is the innovation nation. Israeli knowhow is everywhere. It’s in your computers’ microprocessors and flash drives. It’s in your smartphones, when you send instant messages and navigate your cars. It’s on your farms, when you drip irrigate your crops and keep your grains and produce fresh. It’s in your universities, when you study Nobel Prize winning discoveries in chemistry and economics. It’s in your medicine cabinets, when you use drugs to treat Parkinson’s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis. It’s even on your plate, when you eat the delicious cherry tomato. That too was perfected in Israel, in case you didn’t know.”
One tenth of one per cent of the world population and yet they do so much. How is this possible? In Genesis 12:3 we find the answer: “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”
God made this promise to Abraham and unlike our leaders He does not lie. The earth has been blessed through them and no greater blessing came than our Messiah Jesus Christ.
Nations that tried to destroy her have been cursed and destroyed themselves, and the United States which has blessed her has been blessed as no other nation since the beginning of time.
We must support Israel. We don’t need to be cursed; we need to be blessed.
Galatians 3:8
The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and foretold the gospel to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”
